Explanation:

The outline compares organic and conventional produce on four aspects: artificial pesticide use (organic: no; conventional: yes), artificial fertilizer use (organic: no; conventional: yes), GMO use (organic: no; conventional: can), and antioxidant levels (organic: higher; conventional: lower). The second option lists these exact comparison points. Other options either describe broader topics or irrelevant methods.
